📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe compiler now exposes mounted packages in test databases, caches alias and enum lookups, and caches ground canonical type comparisons across inference paths. Canonical subtype and equivalence checks also reject provably different nominal heads early. ChangesCompiler type checking
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves compiler performance through per-body memoization, but its new canonicalization cache is only protected by a debug-only invariant check, allowing invalid inference-bearing types to proceed further and fail less locally in release builds. Merge should wait for the release-active assertion or explicit owner acceptance of this bounded correctness risk. Possibly related PRs

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Make the cache invariant active in release builds.
Line 2758 uses debug_assert!, which is disabled in release builds. An inference-bearing type that reaches canonical then fails later in NormalTy::from_interned, not at this cache boundary. Replace it with assert!. This leaves the blocking hardening item in the PR objectives incomplete.
Proposed fix
- debug_assert!(!ty.has_infer());
+ assert!(
+ !ty.has_infer(),
+ "inference-bearing type entered InternedCanonicalCache"
+ );📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Summary
requiresrelationDiagnosis
The supplied #4430 profile showed body inference scaling super-linearly: the empty compile moved from about 368 ms to 989 ms, the realistic project from 2.39 s to 4.61 s, and the worst OpenAI bodies reached 500–660 ms.
Temporary phase/counter instrumentation on the current canary workload inferred 2,160 bodies. It ruled out two suspected causes: the entire compile registered/attempted only 42–51 obligations, and package-resolution misses were zero. A single-thread profile removed parallel lock-wait attribution and isolated recursive JSON/provider walkers instead. For example,
baml/ns_toml/toml.baml|item_to_jsonperformed 1,602 canonical roots / 5,542 canonical nodes; OpenAI metadata/directive walkers repeatedly traversed roughly 175–382 roots and 1,945–3,055 nodes per body.The hot path rebuilt canonical forms for every subtype/equivalence query and repeatedly materialized the same recursive alias definitions and enum rows from interned compiler data. This change scopes both caches to one inference body and one immutable fact set; inference-bearing types bypass the canonical cache because their meaning is table-relative.
All diagnostic instrumentation and temporary proof drivers were removed before commit.
Compiler A/B
Rust 1.93.0,

This clears the brief's <500 ms empty median and <=2.8 s realistic ceilings.

Table values are medians across the three processes.Peak-RSS ranges were 711,464–716,612 KiB on canary and 707,680–715,836 KiB on the branch.
The suggested
Rc<NormalTy>memo was evaluated in the same three-process setup and dropped because it did not measure as a win: compile median 2.193→2.200 s (+0.3%) and peak RSS 710,832→712,864 KiB (+0.3%). The final patch retains the simpler owned cache.provable_subtypethreading is intentionally deferred.Runtime safety
The full generated runtime speedtest suite ran in a same-machine A-B-A bracket with five samples per workload (
BAML_PROFILE=0,DIVAN_MAX_TIME=20). All 38 non-sleep workloads completed; stable representative medians stayed flat (for example method call +1.8%, bubble sort +0.7%, call chain -0.8%, pure call +2.8%, interface default dispatch +2.4%, interface match dispatch +1.7%). Concurrency rows showed the expected broad scheduler variance across the bracket.As a stronger zero-delta proof, a temporary harness compiled and Borsh-serialized every measured workload on canary and the branch. Both revisions produced exactly 38 programs, 94,239,414 aggregate bytes, and corpus digest
838ab2f95eb1bc62: the VM received byte-identical programs. The harness was removed before commit.Validation
